272 Rod and Tackle. CHAP. xx. 



the shank of the hook before whipping. This passes into the vent 

 with less tear than an eyed hook. About 9 inches of gimp, and a 

 loop whipped. A Dee-side sinker i~ inches long, and proportionately 

 thick, with hole sufficient to let the looped gimp pass. See pp. 68, 69, 

 and Sinkers infra. 



The same on gut, single salmon, or treble, with sinker, as in 

 illustration on p. 68. 



Richmond Spinner. Geen's Richmond spinner, salmon size. 

 Mount with No. 7 or 8 Mahseer hooks 8, which is the smaller, 

 for preference in the position shown in the illustration on p. 69. 

 Unless specially desired on single salmon gut or treble gut, mount 

 on No. 2/0 patent, rust-proof, wire gimp, single throughout, the 

 hooks being not eyed, but straight and whipped on, the end hook 

 having the gimp passed between the trebles and brought back the most 

 part of the shank of the hook before whipping. This for Mahseer. 



For Bamin and Freshwater Sharks always use wire gimp, and of the 

 strength above named. 



For Cock-up, see p. 250, the same wire gimp but hooks two sizes 

 larger, and one extra hook an inch clear of tail hook in the illustration 

 on p. 69. 



The Coxon Spinner. The Coxon Spinner, salmon size, mount 

 as in Richmond Spinner. As shown in the illustration on p. 70, 

 discard the second black swivel usually sold with the patent tackle. 



Richmond Spinner. Richmond spinner, trout size. For Seetul 

 mount as ordinarily mounted for trout. For Red Perch, Grey Perch, 

 and Batchwa, pp. 253, 222, mount on No. 4/0 wire gimp. In both 

 cases use Mahseer hooks so that the baits can, on occasion, be used 

 for small Mahseer. 



Coxon Spinner. Coxon spinner, trout size, the same mounting 

 as for Richmond spinner, trout size, discarding the second black swivel. 



The Archer Spinner, the Chapman Spinner, the 

 Phantom. The Archer spinner, the Chapman spinner, and the 

 Phantom are mentioned and illustrated on p. 72, but are not recom- 

 mended for the reasons stated. Such anglers as nevertheless desire 

 them should have them mounted like the Richmond spinner above. 



Phantoms should never be used for Bamln, Begti, Freshwater 

 Shark, Batchwa, Red and Grey Perch, as they will simply tear the 

 skin or cloth to pieces in no time.
